Packers Offseason/Free Agency Thread

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I weas shocked by that number, espcially since just minutes before I saw it I read that Washingon had agreed to 1 yr $5.2 million with Jeremy Chinn. I know they really like Nixon, but that's a lot of money for someone whose only superpower is running back kicks.

Nixon ain’t the best slot corner on Fuck’s green earth, but he sure as fuck ain’t the hot chick who gets picked on wherever she walks, either. In other words, Nixon ain’t anything like the last two bums who manned the slot before him - abominable Mr. Hyde and “Chicken-shit” Sullivan.

Nixon is the Rock solid as a slot man.

Btw, I ain’t sure why I’m using the word “ain’t” a lot. I ain’t from the south; ain’t Black nor redneck.

I "live" in the South, so you probably sense this and are subconsciously mirroring my speech patterns while replying to me.

I hope you don't hate me when you come to realize that you're suddenly addressing people as "yall".

The most accurate flow chart ever.

Don’t know that I agree with you. I heard that Washington really took it on the Chinn with that signing.

Word.

Forgot the mention: in between Hyde and Sullivan, an aging Tramon Williams manned the slot. Despite being “past his prime,” T-Will was solid as The Rock.

Nixon’s game resembles T-Will’s moreso than Hyde and Sullivan’s.

Which would you rather have - Aaron Jones for $6M + 1M in incentives, or Keisean Nixon for $6M?
OK, I'll stop.

Nixon is a perfectly fine player to bring back and I'm happy for him but it feels like an overpay. I'd take him over Chandon Sullivan by a modest margin.

Arik Armstead is a must sign IMO. He is a long ass end that Niners love. How many of those homies from Oregon did they get?

[Fritz]

I wonder if there are any other safeties or a linebacker worth signing. I’ve read that linebackers are flying off the shelf.

Wow... that would be so cool to see!

Have to keep out of the way, though...

Packers up to 2nd in the NFL in dead money for 2024. Only Vikings have more. Setting themselves up to have less in 2025 though.

Bakhtiari 19M
Jones. 12.4M
Savage 5.4M
Douglas. 5.1M

This is kinda why Gutebag JordyNelsoning Aaron Jones makes no sense.

He has a 12mIL Cap hit this year; we only save about 5 MIL. Why not just overpay him slightly, perhaps 8MIL a year and use the Joshy funds elsewhere ?

So what is jacobs cap hit this year ? That'a a lotta money for a RB on our cap in 2024

Because Jacobs can be an answer for 2, 3, maybe even all 4 years. AJO has greater injury concerns even for just year 1 of this deal. I would say a much greater likelihood of Jacobs playing more games/getting more carries in '24 than Jones. And yes, AJO was probably my favorite player for the Pack. But........bidness is bidness.

Something I haven't seen anybody talk about is the fact that somebody way better IMO than either Jacobs or Jones went pretty cheap - $16 million for two years. I am referring to Derrick Henry, a huge guy like Dillon, but with breakaway speed and the power to break tackles like we could only wish Dillon had. And he's going to the Ravens to play with Lamar Jackson. Thank goodness we don't have to play them - except maybe in the Super Bowl.

I think the tread on them tires is pretty worn, Tex.
